Abstract: Faraday Rotation causes rotation of the plane of polarisation of plane polarised radiation emitted by a radar e.g. a synthetic aperture radar and, if returns polarised in orthogonal planes are measured at the synthetic aperture radar in order to determine polarimetric characteristics of the ground, which could show up features of the ground such as crop patterns, the measurements made at the SAR are contaminated by the Faraday Rotation. In the invention, the transmitted plane polarised beam is pre-rotated in transmitter 9, the radar returns in receiver 13 are mathematically adjusted in signal formatting 14, 15 to compensate for just the pre-rotated angle, to produce data streams on downlink 16 uncontaminated by the Faraday Rotation. The Faraday Rotation may be estimated by external means 11, 12, or by performing correlation 10 of the orthogonally polarised radar returns to establish a minimum, while the pre-rotation angle and mathematical correction of the returns are being iteratively adjusted, at which Faraday Rotation is assumed to be compensated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fastener for receiving a sink unit in a worktop has a plastics clip for attaching to a tab or rail and a hinged clamping member (11) which is tightened up against the underside of the worktop by a screw. The screw can be pressed through a bore in the hinge pin and self-tap into a non-threaded passage in the clip when the clamping member is hinged to engage under the worktop. The bore through the hinge pin has small flexible tags projecting into it past which the screw thread can snap, but which retain the screw when that is not engaged with the clip. The hinge pin and the clip have mutually engageable detents which locate the pin, and thus the clamping member, in either the operative position, for engaging the worktop, or the non-operative position with the clamping member swung back free of the worktop.

Abstract: A method of upstream communication over a linear broadband network includes the steps of generating an upstream baseband signal and modulating it onto an upstream wireless radio frequency carrier to produce a first upstream modulated carrier signal. The modulated carrier signal is transmitted wirelessly, received, and demodulated to reproduce the information integrity of the upstream baseband signal. The signal is then modulated onto an upstream linear broadband radio frequency carrier for transmission on the linear broadband network. Advantageously, noise that accumulates at the subscriber premises is removed from the upstream signal prior to presentation of the signal to the upstream path of the linear broadband network. A system for communicating over a linear broadband network includes network access interface devices coupled to the linear broadband network. A subscriber access interface device accepts upstream communication signals and modulates and transmits the signal to the network access interface device. The network access interface device 6 receives and demodulates the signal and then modulates it for transmission on the linear broadband network.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for establishing connections between two communication partners (A, B) which both dispose of an access to a communications system (1) having a dynamic allocation, and which both dispose of an access to a communications system (2) having a static address allocation. The first communication partner (A) logs onto the system having the dynamic address allocation in order to receive a first dynamic address. The first communication partner (A) ascertains the dynamic address allocated to himself, establishes, via the second communications system (2) having the static address allocation, a connection to the second communication partner (B) and notifies the second partner (B) of the appropriate first dynamic address acquired beforehand. The second communication partner logs onto a first communications system (1) having the dynamic address allocation in order to receive a second dynamic address. The second partner (B) ascertains the second dynamic address assigned thereto, contacts the first partner (A) and transfers the second dynamic address to the same.
